Volume 1, Parts II.74.14 He (lbn Sad) said: Muhammad Ibn Umar informed us; he said: Musa Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim related to me on the authority of a member of Banu Thalabah he on the authority of his father; he said:
When the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, came from al-Ji`irranah
in the eighth year (of hijrah) we waited on him (in a party of) four
members, and said: We are the messengers of those of our people whom
we have left behind us. They and we believe in Islam. Then he ordered
for our hospitality and we stayed there for several days and then we
waited on him to bid him farewell. Thereupon he said to Bilal: Reward
them as you do to other deputationists. He brought pieces of silver and
paid to every one of us five uqiyahs of it. He (narrator) said: We had no
money; we returned to our land.
